Bribie Island Race - 3 - TriathlonSprint

A bit disappointed with my swim, I have been working on technique and also seeing improvement in speed in the pool. Would have helped if my radar was a bit better and I swam in as straight line. Still a not a bad time.

Swim straighter. Keep working on Technique work out a good kick rate.

I still just put my cycling shoes on and run in them. Have seen alot of armatures stack it trying to put feet in shoes while riding. Bribie has a nice wide mount and post mount area so would be safer to try in the future.
First time not having to put on singlet as I know have a 2xu race top to swim in save about 30 secs.

The ride was nice and flat and no strong winds. I had fun on this ride knowing I wasn't going to do the run I went very hard. Was overtaken by alot of people with nice time-trial bikes, felt like I was a tortise.
Took on lots of water, did this at regular intervals as if preparing for a run.

Not much had a good ride.

Tried out my new race belt much quicker then when I had to put on a singlet in T1 with the number safety pinned to the front. (even though wasn't up for the run)

Due to my Peroneal brevis tendon injury I was unable to do the run.

Endura, Stretching, water, Then had to race back to Brisbane have shower some sleep and then to work. wore skins the rest of the day. These are amazing the recovery difference is incredible.


injury.


I have only done 2 BRW (sprints) and Noosa 2008. I need practice and I needed to race to keep my motivation up. I missed all the Gatorade and 1st, 2nd Bribie for family work reasons. So I chose not to pull out of this one and just enjoy the day, and pull out.
In review I am happy with my decision even though I now have DNF on my name. It gave me the practice, motivation and enjoyment. Yet I still hopefully will return to running quicker by giving my foot longer to heal.
